Welcome back bento!
This week we’re skipping the rice in favor of an onion and Parmesan polenta. Also a trip to the Vietnamese market in Mud Heights netted some fantastic veggies, included some crimini mushroom (instead of the usual Baby Bellos)
Upper berth: Grape Tomatoes, Beef subiyaki with onions and crimini mushrooms. Chickie holds the sauce.
Lower berth: Parmesan and onion polenta, steamed sugar peas, steamed carrots.

Bento box 1/16/12
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Rice, City Chicken, Broccoli, Grape Tomatoes, Edamame, Quail Eggs

Things I learned today: 
Only two City Chicken skewers will fit in my box at a time.
I don’t particularly like batter frying City Chicken
Edamame and grape tomatoes won’t last the week if I keep snacking on them during prep.
Quail eggs are not easy to peel. Will use vinegar in the bath next time.
